What Then, Is the Purpose of Public Education?

December 17, 2025January 12, 2024 Mike Belcher

With the recent court decisions, we need a bit of analysis on NH education funding and recent (and historic) NH Supreme Court decisions regarding the NH Constitution. First, why is it said that we must fund public education in New Hampshire at the state level? The answer is that a supreme court ruling interpreted the NH … Read more

We Need to Take Control Of Our Land and Water Back from the EPA

January 11, 2024 Op-Ed

Going back to 2017, there was a Senate Bill (SB121) that created a Study Commission, chaired by Senator Jeb Bradley, to look at having NH assume responsibility for portions of the federal Clean Water Act. If it had occurred, this would have removed regulatory authority from EPA Region I and bestowed it to NH DES Staff in Concord.

The Union Leader Wouldn’t Publish My Op-Ed, So Here It Is!

January 10, 2024 Op-Ed

For my friends in New Hampshire, you all recognize the New Hampshire Union Leader as a demagogue in the Left-leaning (fake news) media, supposedly representing all NH readers and voters. To my friends around the country and the world, the NH Union Leader used to be a respectable, somewhat conservative-leaning newspaper that wasn’t afraid to publish opposing Liberal views.

Unravelling of the Armed Forces – Part Two

January 9, 2024 Op-Ed

Just when I thought things couldn’t get any worse, the Department of Defense surprised me once again—this time involved General Austin in his role as Secretary of Defense. He checked himself into Walter Reed Army Medical Center, where he was placed in the Intensive Care Unit for a week and never told anyone, while his staff lied about it.

Republicans in NH: Be Warned!

January 9, 2024 Op-Ed

In today’s Townhall.com Tip Sheet, there is an article by Sarah Arnold entitled, “DNC Turns Its Back on the New Hampshire Democrat Party.” The crux of the article is a recent letter sent by the DNC to Ray Buckley, informing him that the Democrat NH Primary will not be recognized as a delegate selection event.

The Pattern of Selective Silence

November 11, 2024January 9, 2024 Julie Smith

So I’ve been told that nut job gun hater Rep. Meuse was the one who assaulted Rep. Jonah Wheeler for his departure from the “enemy camp plantation” by voting for a ban on gender reassignment for minors. I’m hoping security camera footage is easily available to see for myself.

On May 7, 2022, Ms. Sidney Powell (a former DoJ prosecutor) gave a deposition to the “House Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the United States Capitol pursuant to House Resolution 503.” Mainstream media has not covered it; it does not suit the official narrative.

Divine Seeds of Liberty

January 6, 2024 Op-Ed

Long ago, an unknown Chinese philosopher’s words described the biblical root of liberty that we call Americanism: “The well-being of a people is like a tree, agriculture is its roots, manufacturing, and commerce are its branches and its life; if the roots are injured, the leaves fall, and the branches break away, and the tree dies.”

Claudine Gay was the Pimple, not the Cancer

September 20, 2024January 5, 2024 Claire Best

The Boston Globe, Michele Wu (Boston’s mayor), Ibram X Kendi, and others cite racism in the forced resignation of Claudine Gay. This is a patent lie. Claudine Gay was put in her position by the Harvard Corporation headed by Penny Pritzker, who was an early financial supporter of Obama for his presidential campaign back in 2008.

January 5, 2024January 4, 2024 Op-Ed

For those old enough to remember or who may have served during the Vietnam era, the impact that war had on the fabric of our military and our nation was truly devastating. It was compounded by the nation’s apathy and, at times, outright hostility towards those who served.

Absent No More

January 5, 2024January 4, 2024 Op-Ed

According to retired Wall Street Journal’s executive Washington editor Gerald Seib, candidate Trump has an advantage being his party’s front-runner since the primary “rules and calendar are designed to help a front-runner sew up the nomination quickly.”

“Resolve” To Help Improve Voter Turnout in Town Elections.

February 5, 2024January 2, 2024 Julie Smith

Greetings and happy new year! A suggested New Year’s resolution that doesn’t involve diet and exercise is in the title above, with emphasis on the word “town.” I say that for two reasons. One of them is that local elections are arguably just as important as their state and federal counterparts.

A Life-And-Death Battle Between Parents and Hospitals for the Lives of Children

February 25, 2026January 2, 2024 Keri Haruza

I am writing with regard to the proposed bill to legalize assisted suicide in New Hampshire, which you have been (rightly) concerned about. I was horrified to learn that this is being proposed and packaged as a “medical freedom” bill. I think one aspect you have not yet argued that is fundamentally important is that … Read more

Ron Desantis Struggles With Unrewarded Excellence

January 3, 2024January 2, 2024 Op-Ed

A perfect record, the governor predicted, would guarantee a chance to compete for greatness, inspiring his 5-year-old son to take a Sharpie in hand earlier this year, stand on his tiptoes, and lovingly graffiti the front of the DeSantis campaign bus.

January 3, 2024January 1, 2024 Op-Ed

There are three main takeaways from 2023. Higher education, especially among the Ivy Leagues and other “elite” colleges, continues to be revealed for what it has become: a bloated, tenured-protected, and indoctrinating mess.
